Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. "7, 1915.

Application filed August 24, 1914. Serial No. 858,385.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE D. DUMoNn, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of 7 Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotatable Washbenches, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in rotatable supporting means, and the object of my improvement is to furnish a table having a rotatable t0p,the latter being made inparts arranged to support difierent objects or receptacles. This object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a top plan viewof my improved rotatable supporting means. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.

' Similar numerals of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The numeral 17 denotesa cylindrical bearing body supported on legs'lS.

The numeral 6 denotes a cylindrical up right whose lower end is rotatably seated in said bearing body. The sleeve 7 is secured upon the upright 6 to rest upon the top of the body 17 and is secured by means of a set-screw 9. Said sleeve has an integral annularratchet rim 10 about its lower end, whose teeth are engaged by a pawl 12, the latter pivoted between lugsll on the body 17 and kept in engagement with the ratchet by means of a small spring between. the,

lower end of the pawl and the body 17 not here shown. p

Thenumeral 4: denotes a tubular cap fixed on the upper end of the upright 6 and 113V. ing a vertical stud 5 seated in a triangular body 18. A plurality of annular tubular bodies 1 is secured about the body 18. These bodies are reinforced by cross-braces?) and supportediby arms 8 extending thereto from the sleeve 7. One of the rings 1 has a varied construction in this, that instead of having a brace 3 extending diametrically across it, it is supported by short braces 2 and an inner concentric ring 19.

The numeral 14 denotes a bracket arm se- L cured tothe cap 4: and having a horizontally disposed disk 15 thereon, below and Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.

spaced apart from said ring 19 Said disk 15 may serve as a supporting means for a gas burner 16, or the like.

My improved device is primarily intended other receptacles near a washing machine, so that the top thereof may be rotated to shift the receptacles in turn to the place where they are to be used. The heating means16 may be used to warm the contents of a receptacle placed thereover.

Attention is particularly directed to the reentrant angles between the annular bodies 1. This permits a person to stand within these angles in order to get close to tubs or other receptacles supported on said bodies, which is a necessary convenience not pos sible were the supporting tables not so for supporting a plurality of wash tubsor formed. Attention is also called to the fact p that the circular parts 1 are detachably bearing, a standard rotatably mounted in,

said bearing, a horizontal tubular head mounted upon said standard, horizontal rings detachably supported about said head to have reentrant spaces between adjacent rings to allow the user to pass between them, means for adjustably securing said head in a desired. position, and an arm projecting fronr said standard having a horizontal plate'at its outer end located under one of said rings.

2. In combination, a base having a centerbearing, a standard rotatably mounted in said bearing, a plurality of horizontal rings supported about said head, an inner concentric ring located within one of said rings and fixedly connected thereto, and a horizontal plate located below said inner ring and fixedly connected to said standard.

Signed at Waterloo, Iowa, this 6th day of Aug, 1914.
